Inside Japan’s Most Expensive Treehouse: Million Dollar Hideaway (feat.

[@TokyoPortfolio]

This treehouse is legally considered a "residence" -- would you live here full-time? Thanks again Chris, and be sure to watch our tour of Tokyo's most exclusive members-only hotel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGW1hJ2GmciHbqc

[@ma7719]

You are an amazing presenter!

[@HeavenlyCreature.]

I personally would like it more as a vacation home than as a full time residence. Unfortunately it will probably be occupied by Chris when he is writing his erotic thriller starring Connor 😜

[@umbraemahwa5675]

Probably part time residence, escape from the city spot, great video!

[@pihermoso11]

i would like to live in Hakone, it's already got the pirate ship so i'm halfway already there to making 'Goonies' back from the 80's a reality, nice sleepy town + pirate ship, that's Goonies part 2 in the making (i'll be bringing my betamax and rewinder when i get to hakone)

[@cameronlarocque464]

Enjoyed this you and Chris seem to becoming good friends look forward to more

[@hithro5466]

Good to see Chris’s luck with seeing Mt. Fuji is still the same.

[@luxintelligentia4632]

Everything good in the universe

[@yesilbursa]

one for five thousand

[@sdcrocks]

I wonder if Chris has spent more money in trying to see Mt Fuji vs a rough estimate of Garnt's gacha expenses.

[@Nightykk]

Even when climbing it he can barely see it!

[@KantanJapan]

As always it was a lot of fun shooting with you guys! Next up we should go see if there's a house in that smouldering crater!

May I ask does abroad in japan Chrise have a friend rank lol if he doesn't get a good favor from a friend he will demote them through the ranks hahahah

Checked out the Airbnb and went all the way to December 2024, couldn't find a single vacant day! Nice work to the team for publicising this one, looks amazing 👌

[@Mandyxthexevil]

its fullly booked all the way to May 2025 (couldn't physically check any further than that!!) 😆

[@plantsdaft]

I went as far as 2035 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 and nothing...

[@deletedwaffles]

@@plantsdaft I'm from the future and I can tell you it's still booked in 3041.

[@-_--_---]

Ranguna There's no point in even holding your breath. It seems to have everything booked 5 to 10 years in advance.

[@goldcd]

I'd assume they've just not made dates available too far forward - see what the interest is, then release dates gradually with slowly increasing prices.

10 years of hell: living the youtube dream is the most accurate thing I have ever seen

I didn't expect the Tree House to be much better until you show that small rooftop space. Simply amazing. Thank you for showing this to us

The screen pause at 3:37 is priceless

I came for a year…23 years later, I’m still here! I want a tree house like this in my garden!

[@amalaylay]

Love this! It’s so cool you show properties in Japan that we haven’t all seen on KZbin so many times before

[@hirotashi]

I fell in love with Hakone because of Yowamushi Pedal...and love that it lives up to the hype! First place I'm going to when the country opens up more! Kantan you did an AMAZING job filming, and I love the interactions of Chris and Alex that you captured. Top tier mate, well done!

[@bloodybooger]

Same here! KazeTsuyo also made me wanna see Hakone Ekiden.

[@JoDancey]

You get my subscription for putting up with Chris😆Great content

[@hanktank45]

This channel is super promising. Seeing cool properties is really fun and I haven't watched a lot of it from Japan. Love seeing Chris collab

[@piropiro1882]

Alex is always showing the greatest places tbh. My poor me feels envious 😄 Nice work and nice channel 👍 Always good to see Chris of course.

[@alexdavis5766]

Never watched a video where the word ‘verticality’ was featured even once, let alone the number of times Chris used it in this one! My new favourite word!

[@musca1musca]

Chris is getting lots of practice giving reactions to things. Alex always knows the coolest spots! Thanks for sharing :)

[@jonryder7269]

Its so fun that as soon as Chris isnt the one making the video he lets loose a lil more and goes full creature mode. Lovely,

[@karlstevens3711]

Japan is a beautiful country. Chris & Alex have done so well in showing what Japan has to offer outside of Tokyo. It shows a civilization that embraces technology but is still tied to their ancestral architecture & culture. Great video, gents!

[@Otaku_Nerds]

I sense a future Wacky Weekend in the works... 😆I would love to see a Chris and Conner's treehouse adventure!

[@PawSmalls]

They need to make a whole village with these. Like that town in one of the Pokémon games.

[@climatixseuche]

when I get bored in my stupid 9 to 5 job, I love to go through your videos. You and Chris have an awesome chemistry together, if you get one day Natsuki on board too you would break the internet xD

[@davidconley6267]

Just love your last 2 videos together. Whenever Japan opens up, I now can find options with your guys advice.

5:15 Chris making a Homestar reference is just precious 😂

[@Stumpy7191]

This is so cool having been to Japan twice for weeks at a time, it’s videos of places like this that speak volumes of the sheer number of things to still see in such a gorgeous country! Great job with your video, and your patience with Chris when he was being a difficult at times (at least it seems).

[@pawirochannel8654]

Awesome sharing, great content the amazing super cool Inside Japan’s Most Expensive Treehouse: Million Dollar Hideaway, like it. Good luck my friend. New friend.

Hey Alex! I am a high schooler and I am into real estate! I am curious about your journey from the states to working in real estate in Japan. I love your videos and they are inspiring!

[@sondres.8021]

I've been wanting to see this video for a while now, it looks extremely neat

[@brewstergallery]

I would live there in a hot second. Love Chris Broad he is just the best.

[@LaNoir.]

I think the "sustainable" part is more to attract customers, most of the house is made of normal industrial material. Still a very nice treehouse, would love to have one in my garden

[@FaradayBananacage]

100% agree. Chris hinted at that with his "sustainable refrigerator" remark. It reminds me of a video I watched a week or two ago about a high end resort in the Maldives. Think tropical islands with houses and walkways on posts over the water. The houses were "sustainable" and made of "natural materials", so no plastic or metal except for all of the plastic and metal in plain sight. Each was equipped with a "sustainable" swimming pool, filled with desalinated water at great expense and environmental cost. The only way to reach it was by "sustainable" jet to Male Island international airport, and then taking a "sustainable" seaplane trip to the island itself. I'm sure all of the abundant fresh fruits and ingredients for gourmet dining were "sustainably" flown in as well. Greenwashing at its finest, but at $5000 a night I'd expect no less.

[@BLACKOMAMBO]

Yea, no way theu used only to three for that, they dont understand how plank are made, you need huge trees and some of them are not gonna be good to use

What a marvellous property and just love the concept behind it of minimal impact/waste and harmony with the woodland surroundings.

[@AA-db9cb]

Been a fan of Abroad in Japan. Didn't know you had your own channel featuring content I like

[@lalaicast]

as someone who lives in a state that is called "people that still live on trees" , this design is very inspirational

[@sparkerler]

I love all of the thoughtful details that the architect incorporated. It reminds me a bit of Gaudi's buildings.

[@niros9667]

Such a cool place, I have fond memories of the treehouse my Dad built me when I was a kid, and this brings back memories of that one.

[@5ifty6ixmediauk]

"I might write a book..." you did Chris and it was rather good.

[@stvsueoka1]

"a bin as you would call it .. a trash can for the rest of us" LOLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!! so great

[@pebkac1245]

its like chris actually writes a book there, " he bent the ladder going up and down writing his book... literally he only went up once and down once and the ladder was bent beyond repair..."

[@Viborgdk]

When you hear about authors or screen writers and such going up in the mountains in a small cabin to write their scripts or base work for their next big novel, this is exactly the sort of place I picture in my mind. A sort of place where you can just remove yourself from everyday stress or responsibilities and just focus on flexing your creative muscles. What a great cabin, absolutely love it!

[@rockraphlegal]

I like these kind of videos where you get to chat with the owner or the builder and take Chris abroad an architectural class.

[@xM1K3L3x]

Between this video and the beautiful luxury apartment last time I'm in utter and complete awe

[@Meyoline]

You're such a wonderful presenter, and what an amazing property! So lovely, I hope I may have a chance to visit there some day. The way you and Chris play off of one another is fantastic and fun xD Keep up the great work!

[@Laura_Darkspear]

I initially thought “omg spider house”… but after watching the tour maybe it wouldn’t get so many creepy crawlies in there. 🤔 Seems well sealed from the elements! Looks beautiful actually! Looking forward to Chris’ erotic thriller book “10 Years of Hell” 😂 Great video Alex! I subscribed immediately!

[@thisguy4614]

Well done! The two of you make a good team when it comes to presenting awesome architecture and culture to foreigners lol could have waited on the erotic novel commentary! The abroad in a pan cookbook would be saucy enough.

[@DeadlyDiper]

This would be a really nice place to stay for a few days during a vacation!

[@mitrey1551]

Aaaah. How nostalgic, I´ve been to Hakone in 2019 and actually rode the Pirate Ship. I also had an amazin view of Mt. Fuji. A very beautiful place.

Wherever you go with Chris in Japan, you can always hear him saying "I was actuallly here like zero to ten years ago"

[@msumungo]

I built a treehouse when I was 10 yo. I used 2x4s for the flooring and inch thick planks for walls. I used steel nails to build the house supported by four tall pines growing close to each other. In less than a month, I experienced wall planks falling off for no reason. Then one corner of flooring collapsed. All those four pines swayed in the wind at their own pace and simply fatigued the nails I had used for construction into a catastrophic failure. Metal fatigue by living trees swaying in the wind. Should have used ropes :)

[@Sx-xy2zi]

Have been obsessed with treehouses since Swiss family Robinson Love this

[@Efreeti]

Interesting to see Alex saying "Is that right?" (at 0:38) and otherwise employing "aizuchi" while Chris is speaking. I wonder if that's something he's adopted even while speaking english, if he's using it often in a professional setting in Japan.
